Yes, that is indeed a good point. In the current 2.x code, I've solved this by just graying out 3-5 in that case. I'm also tweaking the tooltips there, so I'll take your suggestions into consideration. > Button 0 and 1 could be red and 2 green. This could be changed in a plugin. I'm not too big a fan of using many different colours, so we settled for the thin vertical line between 1 and 2 to distinguish passing grades from failing grades. > I would also like to propose a different solution for the situation > where there are only a few cards left to do, and the current algorithm > causes repetition, either immediately or with only 1 or 2 other cards > in between.

You mean getting one from the cards that where scheduled tomorrow e.g.? This would probably mess up the long term scheduling. I don't think there is any really satisfying solution here: if you have only 2 more cards to memorise, they are bound to come close together. Either add new cards to memorise in that case, so that there in more variety in the deck, or just take a break and study them again later. Keep the suggestions coming!
